About Julia

Julia Wilkinson is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction or trauma and abuse. She works with adults who are managing grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, or the strain of parenting and caregiver roles. Julia encourages people to notice their strengths and take small steps toward change rather than promising quick fixes.

She uses straightforward, practical ways of working so conversations stay focused and useful.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build skills for coping with difficult feelings, improving sleep and appetite, managing anger, and addressing self-esteem or body-image worries. For people with complex needs, Julia draws on approaches that help with mood swings, ADHD and co-morbidity challenges. Julia has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Her years in practice have included supporting people through trauma, compassion fatigue and the impact of chronic illness. She frames progress as a collaborative effort, not a one-way process. In sessions she tends to favour methods that encourage acceptance and practical change, attention to attachment and relationships, and a client-centred stance that follows each person’s pace.

Conversations can include skill-building, values work, and exploring how past relationships shape current patterns. Julia offers online work and can meet people who live outside the United Kingdom. People can expect a steady, respectful approach that focuses on what they want to change and helps them plan manageable steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing urges connected to addictions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional reactions and connections. This approach is helpful for people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment worries or repeated relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julia will talk with clients about their goals, try different ways of working and agree a plan together. The choice of method is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
